摘要：In this review I concentrate exclusively on models for the large-scale structure created by jet
flows in AGN. I briefly mention models for the evolution and emission of these objects and how
they can also be applied to microquasars. While in radio-loud AGN we can directly use the radio
synchrotron emission of these structures, we need to find other detection methods in microquasars.
Where possible, the application of AGN models has produced important insights into the timeaveraged
energy transport rate of microquasar jets. I also describe methods for using the largescale
structure of jets to infer jet duty cycles. Finally, I point out some recent work taking the idea
of a connection of accretion disc states and jet production from microquasars and applying it to
radio-loud AGN.
